Hands down with out question my favorite app is Dark Skies, it is this physics engine based weather app that is super accurate and it will send you push notifications when the rain is coming. So great when deciding to bike or ride the bus across town!

Embarrassed that I hadn't remembered to check out your blog since our game night last month. It's looking good, though! Have you seen my comics at pizzagun.com yet?

To answer the question: like Justin, I probably use Google Maps more than anything else, followed closely by Facebook. However, I actually think Waze edges it out in terms of overall fandom. Crowdsourcing an entire world-wide roadmap out of raw GPS data is just incredibly ambitious, and the fact that it's often better than Google at predicting trip durations is all the more impressive.

Honorable mentions to Wunderlist for task management; MyFitnessPal for social calorie tracking; Camera+ for feature-rich photography and editing; Sleep Cycle for sleep studying and a life-changing smart alarm clock; Logmein and Dropbox for integration with my PC; and of course, Spotify. I'd be majorly bummed out if I lost any one of those apps.

Honestly, the answer I keep coming back to is not very sexy... it's a tie between Mail and the web browser (Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS, duh!). The first time I saw an honest-to-goodness smartphone, having real access to email and the web was the thing that made my jaw drop. We take it for granted now, but it is pretty awesome.

My email is my first name at my full name dot com. You probably already knew that, though. :)
